I have a home lab where many different computers do many different tasks for me. One of them is a Kubernetes cluster that uses multiple PCs to solve a problem, run an application, etc. This PC is great as a high-performance, low-power cluster that delivers fast results. I currently have multiple Minecraft servers running on my cluster, and the cluster chooses which node (machine) to run a particular server on. When a server is not in use, it runs on the node with the lowest power consumption. When it's active, it starts running on the most powerful node, which is this one. It's great for my needs in this cluster! For everyday use, this is a good little computer for basic web browsing, video playback, photo viewing, and general productivity. It runs fast with an integrated M.2 SSD, a single stick with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a quad-core 1.1GHz to 2.7GHz processor. Everything but the processor is user serviceable, allowing you to upgrade these components in the future. If you want to keep the SSD but add more storage space, there is a mounting point and cable for a 2.5" drive. I can't tell if there's a fan, but if there is, it's incredibly quiet! I fixed it to the back of my monitor for a week before adding it to my Kubernetes cluster and didn't hear a sound. Use a desktop computer or an ultra small server. I'm planning to get another one so I can have backup master nodes for my cluster!
